I'm back! The books I bought this month were partly inspired by my university degree (French and Spanish) - I've been learning about Latin American Independence and really wanted to read some contemporary (20th-/21st-century) literature.

Books mentioned:
1. One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel García Márquez
2. Leaf Storm - Gabriel García Márquez
3. The Autumn of the Patriarch - Gabriel García Márquez
4. Collected Short Stories - Gabriel García Márquez
5. The Watcher in the Shadows - Carlos Ruiz Zafón
6. Midnight's Children** - Salman Rushie
** Not technically Hispanic but it deals with colonialism and independence, which are two themes I've been studying as part of my degree.
